Nerd for Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! Who else is a nerd for candy? Which candies make you goofy?

S'more kitties, please

Want s'more Squaredy Cats?

The summer is almost over, and you haven't made s'mores yet??? What are you waiting for? Maybe you were waiting for our friends over at Madd House Creations to invent their new S'more Psychosis mix? Check out these nuts on Facebook too :)

Yummy kitty

A Chocolate Squaredy Cat. Maybe some day.

Let's get on with things, and post to last Easter Squaredy Cat to the blog. We saved this for last because it was our favorite. Completely inspired by that cartoon that seems to have been done by a hundred different cartoonists where the chocolate bunny with the tail bitten off says, "My butt hurts," to the chocolate bunny with the ears bitten off answering, "What?"
This is the warmest, shiniest, melts-in-your-mouth looking chocolate kitty you've ever seen!

cuckoo for cocoa

We thought it would be fun to make the cat himself chocolate brown instead of choosing which kind of chocolate he actually likes. This guy is pretty simple. If he doesn't get any chocolate for Valentine's Day he's heading straight to the store tomorrow to get it at 50% off ;)

Browse the bakery sweets

Don't you love browsing all the delicious looking pastries at the bakery? That's what we had in mind when we made this sweetie. This was another of our Style Guide cats from last year. We really wish we'd thought of making a Facebook page a long time ago. Who knows what we'll come up with for Valentine's Day next year. We hope by then the plushies are out!

Can you "LOVE" a sweet?

When we first came up with the concept of Squaredy Cats it was still pretty vague. Thanks to our agents, we learned to focus the idea, and put together what is called a Style Guide to present to potential manufacturers and stores. For the Style Guide we put together last year we included four cats for Valentine's Day along with several others seasons and holidays . This was one of the first we put any dimension to. Before this cat all the art was extremely flat. We still like the flat look, but sometimes it makes sense to have the depth to make a box of chocolate look as delicious as possible!
